This is creepy and weird. Why would you want to carry around a doll that looks and sort of acts like a real baby? My advice would be to just have a real baby if you feel like you have motherly instincts. I am actually surprised at how people have this as a hobby, or to feel a void or whatever.

My reaction to the video is WOW!Yes I do think the Reborn dolls are creepy.I also think they are really weird.No I don't think the Reborn dolls look real.I think a better alternative to the Reborn dolls to satisfy these women's desire to their "motherly instinct" is for them to just adopted a real baby.
This is a very...interesting video. This is just plain creepy, it's weird to have and carry around a fake baby. The women that do this, I'm sorry, are kinda strange. If the women wants to care for a baby adopt a real one or have a real one. Also they say it satisfies their motherly instincts, but that instinct isn't meant to just go away when you don't feel like caring for the child. A motherly instinct should be stronger than that.

I was surprise. I think the reborn doll is creepy and weird. Yes, I think the reborn dolls look real. I don't think of a better alternative to the reborn dolls to satisfy these women's desire to their "motherly instinct" to use. I can't really explain it.

This is freakin weird... If they want a baby, adopt one. Dont get all weird and buy a fake baby. Just strange. And I think they dont really look real they look fake.
I don't think Reborn dolls are weird. But I do think that people using them as real babies is weird. I think Reborn dolls look extremely weird. I think a better alternative to this doll would be to have one ! It just seems silly. I don't know what is wrong with these people but they definitely seem weird treating a doll baby like a real baby. I know these things aren't cheap.

This caught my attention! The "re borns" are creepy. It's creepy because some of them look really real, and who would wanna carry and take care of a fake baby. I can't think of a away to satisfy a women's desire, I would say if you want a baby so bad then just go adopted a real one
This is really weird and creepy. Why would you want to have a fake baby and act like its real? That's crazy. If they want to have an alternative to the Reborn dolls to satisfy these woman's desire to their "motherly instinct", they could have real children. They say its therapy but that's what therapists are for.. I understand some people can't have children but you can always adopt. It's one thing to have dolls and collect them but it is creepy when they act like they're real people and give them rooms and stuff.
I think that this video was extremely weird. The dolls are both creepy and weird. Some of them do look pretty weird. A better alternative would be to have another baby. If you want to have the experience of having a baby then have one for real where you have to feed it and everything.

This is probably one of the creepiest things I've ever seen. People shouldn't collect babies, especially 28 of them. The dolls do look real. They should just get a cat like every other crazy woman, instead of taking care of a doll like it is a real person. It might be better for these people though, because they probably shouldn't raise anymore real people for fear that they too will be insane.
My initial reaction to this video is that it's very odd and creepy. However, now that i think about it, women who miscarriage or loose children, could find this very comforting. I think the Reborn dolls look very realistic.
This is so weird! I'm so confused. They are just plain weird. Why would you spend so much money over a doll? People cray-cray. Like, they don't even blink. They do look real, IF they blinked. They can just buy a cheap baby doll from Dollar Tree. You don't need to spend all that money for a stinkin' doll.
I think this is crazy, these women are crazy! You cannot physically have 26 babies unless you’re a douggar mom. Why have 26 freaking baby dolls to walk around with and have people think your crazy and I think they just want the attention. If they really wanted all those children they couldn’t leave 25 at home and bring one around. Gosh this aggravates me how their using their husbands money for a stupid hobby and using their household for a creepy dollhouse!
I really had a confused reaction towards this video. I think it is kinda creepy and sometimes just plain weird because I couldn't live with a house full of dolls. Some Reborn dolls do look real especially the newborn ones. Go to work in a nursery at a hospital or start a babysitting service for newborns because if you think about it there are a lot of real newborns that need care and if you can't raise one get a job working with them.
I think the dolls are just plain weird. They look very real.
I think it is weird. How can something be reborn?

The Reborn dolls are just plain weird. Those dolls look way to real. I can't think of any good alternative to satisfy the desire of "Motherly instinct" cause some of these women have had children so why do they need it again.
I am shocked! I don't think that it is odd for older women to act and hold the dolls as if they were real and how real they look. I think the Reborn dolls look just like a new baby. I think this is a good way to have motherly instinct cause they aren't real and they don't have to do exactly everything you would to a new born.

I think this is so weird. The dolls do look real but I mean come on now. I think they should go and adopt a child if they want one that bad again. ZACH CAHALAN
That is just plain weird. They do kind of look real, but it's still really weird. I believe that if they want to satisfy their motherly instinct, they should either have their own, become a babysitter, or a work at a day care. -Josh Cutchins
One lady says that holding a baby is a stress releaver. I thought they cause stress at times. If I saw someone with a newborn, I would be wierded out. Yeah they look real but still. It's just creepy.

I think the reborn dolls are creepy. They do look real.
-Travis Legate
Its very different. Yea it looks pretty real.
I think this is very weird. Why in the world would you want to carry around a doll around? I think these dolls are creepy and weird. They are like actual babies, but they aren't alive. Especially since they carry these dolls around! I think they do look real to a point. The older ones don't, but the babies do. They carry around these dolls everywhere. That is extremely weird. I can see little kids carrying them around, but an adult?
I think that they are very weird. Why would someone want to collect something like that? I mean I understand collecting them to look at but not to carry around with you. The lady that carries the one doll around with her seems crazy, I mean there has to be something wrong with her. No one should carry around a fake baby around with them everywhere they go and put them in a carseat. It's just weird.
It is freaking weird. Nobody takes care of a fake baby but little girls. They look real and fake. An alternative is a cat or another type of pet. They can take care of the pet like a baby.
I think this is really weird. These doll are a bit on the creepy side. They look very real like. No.
It is scary to have a fact doll . But some women have not had the option to have kids . This is sad to see that grown women are playing with dolls .
I think Reborn dolls creepy. I say this because I think the dolls would be good for an independent living class. This would give them an good idea of how to take care of a baby. This is not a good idea for when an adult treat it like a real baby. Now that's weird.
I think that this is a great creation, especially for those who can't have children or for those who don't have enough money to support their family. I think that the dolls are cute, they look adorable and are easier to care for. They look real and If I saw one I would want to hold it. I wouldn't go crazy and have as many as the women in the video did but I would just want to hold someone else, not my own. I think that the women should have their own baby daycare if they want to have so many baby's around and want to be a mother when they already are.
I have seen stuff like this before on t.v. and in real life. I actually had a family member who had a reborn doll and she bathed it, "fed" it, clothed it in different clothes everyday, and did everything for it like a real baby. It was my great grandma, but it was because she has Alzheimer's. She thought the baby was actually real and it was very sad but we went along with it to make her happy. She "took care" of that baby for about 6 years. We she passed away we even buried her with the doll. I think the dolls are a bit creepy in these ladies cases. They do look real thou. I feel bad for these women because a lot of them can't have babies and this is how they coop with it. They should just adopt.
This can be...Very weird to say the least. But if a woman can't have a baby, then this would be a good and cheap alternative. I think they are weird because I don't think that it's normal that someone acts as if a baby doll is a real baby. It kinda creeps me out. Unless they can't, or have not, had a baby before.
A good alternative is working at a daycare center for children of all ages. That way they are able to spend time with children and not have that emptiness that is in their hearts.
